# Info Panel

The info panel appears in the lower left corner of the Timeflow window depending on what is currently selected in the view. This offers quick editing options on the current selection.

The info panel provides essential tools for editing animations but is not a replacement for the main Inspector window. Only key information is displayed in the info panel and in most cases additional options and functionality can be found in the main Inspector for the object or behavior.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
The info panel supports editing multiple items at once, however certain features are necessarily limited to single object editing.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Selection Types

The info panel changes automatically based on the selection to show essential editing features. The panel can be expanded horizontally by dragging the center divider line. However, vertically the panel size automatically changes based on the content displayed and cannot be adjusted manually.

{% hint style="info" %}
To show and hide the info panel, toggle the foldout arrow in the bottom left corner. When collapsed, only the item selection type and count is displayed.
{% endhint %}

## Objects

Game objects do not display anything in the info panel. If only game objects are selected, the panel remains collapsed and simply shows the number of objects selected.&#x20;

## Channels

Channels may be selected in the [Object Panel](https://axongenesis.gitbook.io/timeflow/user-guide/timeflow-view/object-panel) to be displayed in the info panel. This displays the channel property (if it has one) and the [channel link](https://axongenesis.gitbook.io/timeflow/user-guide/timeflow-view/channel-link) settings. Channel features can vary based on the type of behavior it belongs to.

{% hint style="info" %}
Editing multiple channels at once is not allowed, so if more than one channel is selected then the main options are hidden. Only the channel color can be assigned to multiple channels at once.
{% endhint %}

## Tracks

Tracks are selected in the Track View and multiple tracks can be edited at once. For more information, see the section [tracks](https://axongenesis.gitbook.io/timeflow/user-guide/timeflow-view/tracks "mention").

Click the lock icon on the left to unlock the track.</p></figcaption></figure>

## Keyframes

Keyframes are selected in the [Track View](https://axongenesis.gitbook.io/timeflow/user-guide/timeflow-view/track-view) or [Graph View](https://axongenesis.gitbook.io/timeflow/user-guide/timeflow-view/graph-view) and multiple can be edited at once.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://2067910529-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FC3dOuetlQfYgK5FPUKgn%2Fuploads%2FiMs8eD8HmXYzQziAxV8k%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=360ad3e6-bc8e-4800-8db0-03dd5f179d1a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Since keyframes can represent many different value types and further customized by their parent behaviors, the info panel shows different fields based on the context.

{% hint style="info" %}
If multiple tracks and/or keyframes are selected at the same time, the info panel allows editing only on the fields commonly shared.
{% endhint %}

Whenever different types of objects are selected, use the icons in the lower left corner to toggle between them.&#x20;

## Events

Events provide a way to trigger actions during playback and are most often used for interactive applications. Similar to keyframes, events supports multi-editing. For further documentation on these features, please see [event](https://axongenesis.gitbook.io/timeflow/reference/behaviors/automation/event "mention").

## Markers

Markers can only be selected one at a time, separately from keyframes and other items, Markers do not support multi-editing. Please see the section on [markers](https://axongenesis.gitbook.io/timeflow/user-guide/timeflow-editor/markers "mention") for further information.
